"We're kicking around ideas and trying to lasso the talent [and] get the band back together," the producer said.

"It's just a lot of logistical things," he explained. "But I'm optimistic because everyone wants to do it. We feel we still have storytelling to do. No decision has been made yet, but we're hopeful."

Big Little Lies was originally envisioned as a limited series adaptation of the Liane Moriarty book of the same name. The first season starred Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and Zoe Kravitz.

Variety reported Thursday that Witherspoon has exited the movie Pale Blue Dot to clear her schedule for Season 2. Noah Hawley is attached to direct the film, which was to begin production in early 2018.
